Environmental Audit

Environmental auditing is a periodic, objective, and documented assessment of an organization’s operations compared to audit criteria. Audit criteria may be compliance requirements such as regulations or may be management practices that benefit the environment. In either case, an audit provides information on the operational status of an organization compared to management’s environmental performance expectations. For example, if management expects the organization to be in compliance with regulations, an audit will provide information on whether compliance has been achieved or not, and if not, what specific measures are required to achieve compliance.

Why Conduct an Environmental Audit?

It is useful to think of an audit as a diagnostic exam and operations “tune-up.” By conducting the exam (i.e., audit), a business gains a better understanding of where its operations stand compared to specified criteria, such as regulatory compliance, management systems, or others. The audit will indicate what needs to be done to allow operations to meet the criteria so a business can take action and improve its efficiency.

Like other “tune-ups,” an audit should be performed periodically or whenever needed. In Nigeria environmental audit is required from industrial facilities every three (3) years by regulation, which shall be conducted in accordance with the “Guidelines on Environmental Audit in Nigeria”.

Environmental Assessment

Sustainable development of the world’s natural resources requires careful consideration of the potential environmental impacts of proposed projects or even policies. During the development and planning phase of a project or policy, EEMS prepares and leads an analytical process to predict potential impacts on the environment and assesses their significance, in conjunction with a public consultation program. Contemporary principles of risk assessment and management and impact mitigation are applied to developments that have the potential to impact on the natural, health, social and economic environments. This system approach includes a review of the possible cumulative impacts of the proposed project in the context of other existing and planned developments.

EIA is the assessment of impacts of a project on the natural, health, social and economic environments. In Nigeria and most countries of the world, EIA is a statutory requirement for all new projects or major modifications or expansion projects that are likely to have significant impact on the environment.

The EIA is an input into the project definition, basis for preliminary and detailed design, construction and installation, operation and maintenance and decommissioning and end-of-project phases.

Pollution Monitoring

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into an environment that causes instability, disorder, harm or discomfort to the ecosystem i.e. physical systems or living organisms. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances, or energy, such as noise, heat, or light energy. Organisations should be concerned about the effects of their activities on the environment as responsible corporate citizens. We assist organisations in monitoring their process at critical points to detect early any harmful discharge into the environment.

Project Development and Feasibility Studies

The feasibility study is the first step in process development. During the feasibility study, different ideas, strategies, options and variables are investigated, analysed and synthesised for optimal results. We convert your ideas to reality no matter how vague, through sound application of the state-of-the-art business development tools.

Clean Up and Soil Remediation

Contaminated sites by hazardous substances are a major environmental concern throughout the world, because most contaminants can persist for many years in soil and sediments, where they have the potential to adversely affect human health and the environment. Our Soil Remediation solution commence with a study of the contaminated site, for a good understanding of the nature of contaminants the risks they pose, the best remediation technology for dealing with soils and sediments, and reasonable approaches to the management of the problem.

Geotechnical and Geophysical Investigation

Geophysical survey provides data that would enable detailed geologic interpretations to assist with water supply development, groundwater investigations, remediation design, and development projects. Geotechnical investigations provide information for foundation design.

Laboratory Services

Our laboratory services covers electromagnetic field radiation measurements, temperature, humidity, illumination as well as ambient air quality monitoring. We can also analyse flue gas from any combustion system including boilers.

Our water laboratory is a modular laboratory that is easily transportable to the field for rapid results, particularly where large number of sampling or multiple testing is required. It cover all range of physico-chemical parameters as well as BOD and COD and biological parameters.

Environmental Management Systems (ISO 14001 EMS)

The ISO 14000 series of international standards have been developed for environmental management. In September 1996, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) finalized the ISO 14001 standard for environmental management systems (EMS), which was revised and re-issued in 2004. It is compatible with the ISO 9001:2008quality management system (QMS). The ISO14001 standard specifies requirements for establishing an environmental policy, determining environmental aspects & impacts of products/activities/services, planning environmental objectives and measurable targets, implementation & operation of programs to meet objectives & targets, system auditing, checking & corrective action, and management review.

REQUIREMENTS OF ISO14001

A key requirement of ISO 14001 EMS is having documented environmental manual, environmental policy, register of environmental aspects & impacts of products/activities/services, register of environmental legislations relevant to your operations, environmental objectives and measurable targets, documented procedures for implementation & operations of the system to meet objectives & targets, checking & corrective action, and management review. Documented procedures are implemented and maintained in such a way that successful achievement of environmental goals commensurate with the nature and scale of activities is facilitated. Internal Audits of the EMS must be conducted routinely to ensure that non-conformances to the system are identified and addressed.

The Environmental Management System (EMS) document is the central document that describes the interaction of the core elements of the system, and provides a third-party auditor with the key information necessary to understand the environmental management systems in-place at the company. Consistent with the principles of ISO14001, the Environmental Policy and Environmental Aspects/impacts analysis, including legal & other requirements, shape the program by influencing the selection of specific measurable environmental goals, objectives, & targets. Specific programs and/or projects must then be developed to achieve these environmental goals, objectives, & targets (in ISO14001 terms, this would be referred to as 'Implementation & Operation'). The checking & corrective action elements of the system help ensure continual improvement by addressing root causes on non-conformances. The ongoing management review of the EMS and its elements helps to ensure continuing suitability, adequacy, & effectiveness of the program.

WHY THE CONCERN ABOUT ISO-14001?

Conformance to ISO14001 is increasing becoming a contractual requirement of customers in Nigeria and many other African countries. Furthermore, as competition becomes stiffer in the market place, ISO 14001 will ensure loss prevention as part of cost saving scheme. Also, because ISO-14000 is a continuation of the ISO-9000 Product Quality standards, it is expected that ISO-14001 may eventually become a requirement for attaining ISO-9001 re-certification. Thus, many companies are setting goals to establish environmental management systems that conform to ISO 14001 guidelines in order to remain competitive in the global marketplace. For those companies who have already obtained ISO 9001 registration and/or follow Total Quality Management (TQM) system principles, the ISO-14001 registration is a logical next step because it is very similar to ISO-9001 and the principles of TQM.

To be really efficient and effective, the organization can manage its way of doing things by systemizing it. This ensures that nothing important is left out and that everyone is clear about who is responsible for doing what, when, how, why and where.

Management system standards provide the organization with a model to follow in setting up and operating the management system. This model incorporates the features on which experts in the field have reached a consensus as representing the international state of the art. A management system which follows the model - or 'conforms to the standard' - is built on a firm foundation of state-of-the-art practices.

Organizations, irrespective of its size, nature of business or type of product or services, could not function well without management systems - although they may have been called by some other name.

The ISO 9000 and ISO 14000 families of management system standards and the OHSAS 18000 now make these successful practices available for all organizations< when it comes to meeting their objectives concerning quality, the environment and health and safety. These management systems can be implemented by small or large organizations, simple or complex processes, production or provision of services.
